Nobody uses that. It's a pain in the ass and gives you the SUV feel. It looks like most folks are putting in a potentiometer and adjusting the force feedback manually.
They provide an electrical assist to a manual steering setup.
So all I got to do is find a totaled GT350 then?
Hummmmm......Nobody uses that. It's a pain in the ass and gives you the SUV feel. It looks like most folks are putting in a potentiometer and adjusting the force feedback manually.
The electric brake booster builds pressure in a reservoir. If the pump goes out you still have time to stop. Plus, from what I understand, the brakes would be similar to manual brakes in the event of a complete shutdown of the booster system.I'm sure it can be done. You'd just need to design in failsafes so that if your electrically operated brake booster fails, you still have brakes.
Bmws have EPS...You can bet that the loyalists btched loudly when they made that choice.The steering in our cars change in quickness and effort when you switch between comfort, and sport. Since BMW made the change, only the dyed in the wool purists still btch.I read little more last night about some of this. It appears that most folks are quite happy with adjusting steering feel manually.
I would imagine that a similar method could be used to dial the brakes in to your firmness/likeness. It will definitely require some method of being able to "set" the piston length (it has to know how far to actuate the MC or what the limits are). I suggest TWO potentiometers for this. One to limit max travel of the actuator and the second to increase and decrease the push-back.
Once you got these two set, you probably wouldn't need to touch them again.

Having driven a '12 X5 w/ conventional hyd power steering, it's plain to see why they did it. It was a heavy, medium effort steering feel...They are courting the female driver now,...With EPS, steering a 5000 lb SUV can be as easy, or as "in touch with the road" at the touch of a button.
It saves significant weight, and reduces power drain as a result of one less belt driven accessory.
I should convert....I've got a whole pile of mashed potatoes on my plate as it is.
